In the third season finale, Stephanie and Michael discuss and debate the prime suspects behind the terrifying Phantom Killer - a still unidentified rapist and serial killer responsible for the Texarkana Moonlight Murders.

Texarkana, Texas. 1946.  Someone or something is killing off random teenagers, with a crisp and cold precision, and no one has an easy answer as to why. When darkness falls, a sadistic maniac in a mask known as THE PHANTOM KILLER brutally murdered unsuspecting young couples on lover’s lane. He wore a burlap sack over his head, with holes sliced out for the eyes, and managed to single-handedly terrorize an entire town. In Part 1 of 2, Michael and Stephanie explore a nasty bit of dark history that spawn countless urban legends and horror films.

Stephanie and Michael take a look into the life, after-life, and after-after life of one of the most mysterious men in human history. The Count of Germain was a 18th century alchemist, mystic, and renaissance man of uncanny knowledge. While he officially died in 1784, he’s been spotted all over the world for hundreds of years after his death. And every time he's seen, he looks exactly the same age. This is the bizarre story of a man who simply refused to stay dead.

Trust No One.

In part 2 of 2 of our look at the Idaho Student Murders, Michael and Stephanie answer listeners questions about the suspect: Bryan Kohberger: a militant vegan with a bizarre neurological disorder.
